Chkbns. "Bodyless"

Our long -standing acquaintances, the St. Petersburg CHKBNS trio, in which the sisters of Anelia (guitar, vocals) and Emilia (drums) and their friend Glory (synthesizers) are played, threw vowels from the name label Flowers Blossom in the Space and went to the tour in Asia, having been in Seoul, visited Asia Hong Kong, Hanoi, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Beijing. But their music, thank God, has not changed much yet: all the same brittle and fragile sound, young energy, teenage romance and foggy dreams in the new video “Bodyless”, in which a sudden guest from the past appears - a cassette player:

- One of the main characters of the clip is the cassette player “Romance”. Is this a tribute to cassette releases, nostalgia for childhood, or something else?

- sympathy for angular, not streamlined. And tribute to romanticism.

- What were your players in your life and what music did you listen to?

Glory: Panasonic player. He listened to cassettes with collections that he himself copied from several cassettes or his father's coils. Pink Floyd , Space Opera, Didier Maruani, Kraftwerk , Cerrone , Yello , Rockets . Pirate collections Radiohead , N Irvana , R Ammstein , the soundtrack of the Matrix, and there was a separate cassette with the records of the Chip Tune music; I did not know what to call it then, but I wrote game music with the consoles on the recorder. It was luxurious.

Emilia: I remember how much I wanted to listen to music, walking along the street, and how then it seemed incredible! Soon I was presented with Sony cassette. I liked Bi-2 music at that time, so after school I often hung in music tents in search of their new collections. We had a lot of other cassettes at home, as we had a cool black two -cassette tape recorder. Well, for example, cassettes Nazareth , Black Sabbath or Bob Marley of our father, Nirvana , Nin or Mar I Lyn Manson sisters. In my player, at that time, Nirvana and Nin from all this played maximum. Nazareth was not perceived then at all :).

Anelia: I never had neither a cassette nor a CD player. The first player appeared in the eleventh grade, when the flash players have already become public. His memory was 128 MB, it was necessary to squeeze the songs in the SUNDFORGE program . I think that on that player there were N Irvana , R Adiohead , M Arlyn M Anson , P Lacebo , G Orillaz , C Ranberries , Songs from the Radio, which I found on the Internet according to the heard words, my first, blind in F Ruity L Oops , demos.

- How did you bring you to Asia?

- In Asia, we toured the Flowers Blossom in the Space with the guys from I Am Waiting for You Last Summer as part of the Labois showcase. It was great, we hope to repeat, yes.

- Nearest creative plans?

- On February 21, we will share the songs recorded with Bodyless . Now we are working on new songs that we are going to record in the summer. In the spring we will perform in St. Petersburg and go to a small tour in Russia.
